  Hmm I dunno. You can buy a 4K TV much bigger than this for less than this.

    Sure, but it won't look near as good when you're sitting 2 feet away, or have the same effective refresh rate with Gsync etc. This is a luxury product for 'serious' gamers really.

      Furthermore you're going to need some serious firepower to run this thing at full potential

        It's only QHD, so it's a bit more forgiving than a 4K monitor.

      34" is already a bit big for a desk. At WQHD res it already doesn't look good at that size and distance if you ask me.

      Rather put the 60" TV in my living room and play it on that. At least I can also use it as a TV and have more inputs. Plus this screen has the gimmick of curved. I never liked curved even if you're the person right in front. To the person next to you, their view will be even worse.

      I don't care about 144hz refresh rates. I doubt you'd get 144 fps @ that resolution anyway.

      Sorry if that makes me not serious as a gamer.

        You can like whatever you want but curvature for very wide monitors isn't a gimmick but more or less a practical necessity.

        Firstly, the curve reduces variation between closest and farthest points on screen thus reducing refocusing, and hence eye strain; and, secondly, it reduces viewing angle difference from orthogonal that cause colour shift on both IPS and TN screens.

        IMO, my 27" is pretty much maximum tolerable flat, beyond that, I need curved, my 34".

  Alright deal but CES is like two weeks away, Acer and Asus are likely to show new lines.

    This is my fear atm, what is CES going to show us. My hope is my back order won't come in until the first week of January. Then I will get 7 days to pick up from PLE and make up my mind

      To be fair the stuff that CES shows takes months or longer to materialize on the market.

      They showed some OLED monitors a year ago, and as far as I know they're still MIA.

    Just wishing I picked up a MSI GTX1080 in Nov for $780

      i picked up 2 for 1040 each when ebay had the 20% sale, granted the prices were jacked up, still bet msy which was the cheapest around by a good 100$
